US EditionSkorts vs. shorts uniform debate brimming in Irish sport camogie as women push for choice
- Before their Leinster semi-final match in Blanchardstown last weekend, Dublin and Kilkenny camogie players were compelled to switch from wearing shorts to skorts.
- This incident followed ongoing protests against the Camogie Association's rule banning shorts, a rule some players and officials regard as outdated and uncomfortable.
- The Camogie Association has scheduled a Special Congress at Croke Park on May 22 to hold a vote on whether players should be given the choice to wear shorts or skorts.
- A poll of 650 players found 83% want the choice to wear shorts, while 70% report discomfort in skorts; Prime Minister Micheál Martin supports allowing shorts, calling the issue archaic.
- If approved, the new rule would take effect around May 24, enabling player choice and addressing welfare concerns amid continued opposition and potential match forfeitures.
